News on THE MARSCHER LORDS Cast Members:

Cast Member R.E. Wilhelm just wrapped Mark W. Curran‘s signature feature Abandoned Dead over the weekend & Michael Moutsatsos‘ Barker Daniels last week. Good shoot, good people, & a well-thought out & well-developed script. Both more psychological thrillers in a way, in Abandoned Dead a security guard – played to perfection by the wonderful Sarah Nicklin – takes a last minute security assignment at a nursing home that nearly proves to be her undoing. The weight of her childhood traumas are fully brought to bear by the appearance of the resident physician – the twisted & diabolical Dr. Thaddeus Mayfield (our very own R.E. Wilhelm) – who forces her to confront her past demons in the present as she literally fights for her life. Still have some ADR work to do on it, then it goes into post-production. A terrific shoot with a terrific crew!!!  Thank You Director Mark W Curran, EFX: Hannah Sherer. DP/Camera: Robert Adams. Supporting: Stacy Snyder, Chris Parker, Hannah Johnson,  Sound: Kristen Alfenito & Still Photographer Aimee Nicolas!!!  EFX Hanna Sherer had Wilhelm sit for about two hours for prosthetics & makeup application!!! Barker Daniels is a family drama, with the added edge of a descent into madness from an abusive parent.

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Cast Member Edwin H Bravo’s upcoming feature Harbinger Down is slated to open this Fall (we have to wait that long?!!!).  Ahh…building A-N-T-I-C-I-P-A-T-I-O-N n’est pas? Marketing Strategy 101. He also just finished an appearance on Lisa Kudrow‘s new show The Comeback, and is in pre-production on One Big Happy.  Here Harbinger Down‘s Director Alec Gillis talks about how he & producing partner Tom Woodruff came up with the project. These Director/Producer commentaries are always interesting, because they give you a glimpse at the wizard behind the curtain & how – so much – YOU are directly responsible for the success of projects such as these. We live in different times. What is produced anymore is not just up to “the suits in the suites” @ the major studios. With the rise of crowdfunding sites, your voice can now be heard more than ever before!!!

We would be remiss if we did not mention the passing of the great James Garner this past week. A Veteran of the U.S. Army & a combat veteran of the Korean War, he served with honor & then brought joy to millions throughout his career in both tv & film. Mr. Garner, you will be sorely missed. You left an indelible, timeless imprint – not only on the mark of cinema & television – but also in the mind of one young boy in particular, who wanted to grow up to be just like you.
